Silicone the boot lid skin to the frame. Pinpoint any other rattles and use your imagination to stop them.

i found these two with less than three clicks

as for your mirror you aren't going to stop it from vibrating, think about it, bass vibrates your car (i.e. your boot lid vibrating) it also vibrates the air in your car, it also vibrates you (ever get distorted vision from your subs??) you are just going to have to put up with the mirror

are you sure its the boot that's vibrating...? I ask just because I've got a u13 and a 400watt 12" and I get vibrations too but only from the number plate. Even though it sounds like its the boot, you might find its the plate. if so, just take off the plastic around the plate, unscrew it, put some thin rubber mat on the back and screw it back on. no probs.  ;)

Yeah in my U12 i dont even have subs or amped or anything and when i cranked it the number plate rattled like hell! But all i did was tighten it up as tight as i could, and it stopped anyway! Try that aswell.

EDIT: 50 POSTS! hahaha what a noob!

I would love to help.

Have had the same problem in my U13 and know what the probs are. Mirrors in the U13 a really shit, it rattles when you hit a bump, because it is screwed to the body has nothing to stop the vibration, whereas the ones on the windsheild have the sticker that holds the mirror up and then the silicon that holds the windsheild in so less vibration.

The boot, what i found the problem was the boot lock hook needs to be moved down so that the seals push against the boot and stop if from rattling. I reduced my rattle by doing that, but it still rattles. L

dynamat is the last step for sound deadening, first you have to make sure everthing is sealed,filled, etc. Like Jono said, use silicone to reatach sagging boot lids, use expandable foam to fill up air pockets etc etc. Dynamat stops reverb, it doesnt stop rattles
